The Open Question March 18: How do we reason about the future given AI? I find this topic extremely perplexing, and endlessly fascinating.

What are we raising our kids to be ready for? What skills don't matter anymore that we used to hold sacred, and what do we need to emphasize?
Will we have universities?
Where to invest time/energy?
Where to invest money? Will money even matter?
Purpose and meaning, etc...

especially when I factor in stuff like Nate Soares talking about If Anyone Builds It Everyone Dies, Rob Miles and Jeffrey Ladish communicating the wild risks involved in AI acceleration, there's almost too much to contemplate at once, and I'd love y'all's help.

Some convos already on UpTrust that might be relevant:

Blake on AI collaboration
Tommy on TikTok brain with AI
Renee on Older people adopting AI
Leif on Digital Mystics
Alex on AI & the Second Coming of Christ
Dave on an AI Safety introduction he likes

Where does Darwin say “survival of the best-fit” exactly? Can’t seem to track that down anywhere. Or did you mean it more in terms of intended sense?
